if any of this were happening under george w. bush, democrats would be impeachment -- calls for impeachment. so the president's gotten a lot of leeway on this. but he's talking about it now because he's been forced to. >> i agree with that. only thing i want to add to this whole situation is when we talk about the things he didn't talk about which needs to be talked about is more whistle blower protection. we need to elevate that. i mean, that kid -- not snowden, but bradley manning. you know, i feel terrible for that guy. obviously he wasn't thinking clearly. he didn't do everything the right way, but you throw the book at the guy. you got him in horrible conditions. 90 years? >> but when you sign the confidential agreements, even if you don't like it there are other steps you can take without necessarily breaking the law. >> yeah. i don't feel terribly for him. >> i'll tell you why i do. the other people who have tried to be whistle blowers under obama's administration have gotten in trouble. i think it's up to us as a society

a certain senator, joe biden in 2007 said, i'm going to impeach president bush. >> in fact, george w. bush in the iraq war did go to the security council. everyone remembers colin powell holding up the alleged evidence. he went to the security council, did get authorization. obama knows that he can't go to the security council because russia would veto it. so he is either just going to ignore all of the prior precedent or come up with some sort of authorization that we haven't seen yet. >> i sometimes wonder if it comes down to what imminent threat to the country means. if another country, say syria, and that's why i said, is this really our business, if the threat was in syria is a threat to its people, is it a threat to our people and i suppose you could say, a thin argument would be the president could suggest destabilization in the middle east could affect us. >> there are lots of good lawyers in that administration and they could certainly make that argument. >> ah, you being one of them at one point. former federal prosecutor. jeffrey toobin, thank you. >>> an historic day is b

george w. bush and president obama have a similar commitment on national security issues as well as criminal justice issues, but what he said that's different is the approach. george w. bush approached things much more like a ceo would, and obama approaches things with a legal perspecive, and that's really not that surprising when you consider their personal backgrounds. >> interesting. joe johns, thanks so much. great work. >>> president obama is in new york to talk about reducing college costs. we're going to dip into his remarks live, coming up. >>> but first, a moment of classic "crossfire" with one of the new hosts. >> when i say the more things change, the more they stay the same, right now our do-nothing congress is on vacation, but back in 1998, we had a future speaker of the house on "crossfire," and he was defending the record of another do-nothing congress. check this out. >> it's projected you're going to work 89 days max this year. why should we pay you for more than 89 when you're
